#65: Bulldogs head to Hattiesburg, Rebels staying home – 06/01/17

Mississippi State will see some familiar foes in the NCAA regionals this week, as it’s traveling to Hattiesburg. On this episode, Logan looks at the regional hosted by Southern Miss (:53), where tickets are hard to come by.

The Bulldogs open against South Alabama, a team they’ve played three times already this season. A big key for State will be pitching depth, which has been an issue this season due to injuries. A win Friday likely means a matchup against the red-hot Golden Eagles.

Ole Miss, meanwhile, is having the rare experience of being left out of the NCAA tournament (7:35). The culprits this season were an anemic offense and a highly touted freshman class didn’t have quite the impact the Rebels had hoped. But Parrish notes that the future looks bright for this team.

A big headline for Ole Miss this week was golfer Braden Thornberry winning a national title in golf (13:20), putting him in a select group of Rebel NCAA champs.

The guys also talk a little football, with kickoff times for some games having been announced by ESPN this week (15:57). The Egg Bowl kickoff time was announced along with a few others, including a very late start for Ole Miss against Cal.
